The co-president of the Together party, Nebojsa Zelenovic, assessed on Oct. 4 that a court decision to reject the prosecution’s request for keeping former vice-president of the Serb Ticket Milan Radoicic in detention pending the trial for participation in the armed clash in the village of Banjska, was “one more proof that Aleksandar Vucic is directly responsible for the difficult political situation in the country.”

Zelenovic assessed that Vucic was “prepared to sacrifice the nation and the state in order to protect his personal position and the privileges of his interest group.” “Vucic and his people control the police, the military and the security services, and these could and have to have known about what was being prepared in Kosovo. They did not know only because the man released today is a member of the group, the leader of which is Vucic,” Zelenovic stated, as conveyed by the Together party.

He said that Serbian citizens “now live in fear of whether they would be under sanctions again after 20 years, or stand in lines for visas, or if there would be enough fuel or food.”

“The EU officials who are now advocating the imposing of sanctions have supported the autocrat for years, who has lied to them and promised wonders, when all he was doing was to wear out his own people, who have never lived worse and who have protested for years and warned about the crimes of this regime,” the statement reads.
